This baby sized contraption originated in the 19th century in Hawaii and was modeled after a Portuguese instrument called a Rajão. Who knew billions of years later it would become the poster instrument for plaid waring individuals.

I think the hipster draw to this particular musical tool is it’s size and ease of use. You can throw it’s roughly 15″ (38 cm) by 23″ (58 cm) sized body into the back of your corolla or backpack it while your riding your one-speed bike.

It allows you to have musical accompaniment at any time….it’s like busy street corner:

Then all of a sudden you pull out your Ukulele:AND BAM!You look like this, you are transported to the beach and you have turned the street into:

A CONCERT VENUE!

And it’s not just hipsters that love them some Ukulele….it’s like:

What kids?…I don’t have any kids I just have:

MY UKULELES

But Mom We love you! We want to take pictures with you!

NO!….YOU KNOW I HATE YOU ALL…..except for your brother johnny….for some reason I like him:

Music makes the people come together..(or so I’m told :)) and there in nothing more “hipster” then finding new music. Then you can chat with all your hipcred friends about Ben Gibbard’s wedding or Sufjen’s new track. A good way to find new music that you may like is to use sites like: Pandora, 8Tracks, LastFM or Songza.

Pandora, LastFM, and Songza are all “internet radio” sites but the cool thing about them is that you can search by typing in and artist or genre of music that you like and find other new bands that have the same kind of sound.

8Tracks is a little bit different. It’s kinda like a “facebook” for music lovers. Users of this site can upload their own playlists of music based on how the music makes them feel or a situation the songs remind them of. You can also “follow” users that consistently make mixes that you like.

All of these sites have links to more information about the artists and their music.

Me being hipster because I find new music

It’s hipster to know new bands or (let’s be honest) about music in general. You have “hipstercred” when you find new music that you like and then SUPPORT that artist by PAYING them for their music. Keep music alive and happy searching 🙂

There is nothing better then a really crappy film that is so indy no one has seen it except for the people who made it. This is one of those films. Hailed as “the Rocky Horror of the MySpace Generation” Troll 2 is freaken BAMF.

It’s the story of this kid and his family who go on vacation to this little off the map town called NILBOG……and hilarity ensues.

There’s this amazing dance sequence by the kid’s teenage sister, his dead grandpa hangs around the house, and the only “sex scene” in the whole film is with a transformed witch lady in the back of an RV on a bed of popping corn.

What makes you hipster is that you’ve seen the film (IT’S ON NETFLIX…instant view rocks!)…..but what really gives you Hipstercred is also watching the documentary made about the making of this so called “worst film ever”.

The title of the Documentary is: “Best Worst Movie”. It can also be found on Netflix or you can find out more about it at http://bestworstmovie.com/

I loved the Doc almost as much as the original movie……watch it too!

Now to get you ready just watch this and tell me it doesn’t rock and then comment on this post after you understand what it means “to piss on hospitality”…..because I won’t ALLOW IT!…..Over and out.
